Brevity by Dan Thompson for March 15, 2019

That’s roughly similar to standing on line for an espresso and the two Chatty Cathys in front – when finally at the head of the line, will only then look up at the menu and say, “Now, what do I want?” and/or “Is your coffee gluten-free?”

Hell is too good for them!

And worst of all, you mixed up “there, their and they’re”!

This seems more like a scene for Phil, the Prince of Insufficient Light from “Dilbert.”

You’re supposed to pull into the intersection?! Then you risk getting stuck there, blocking traffic. (Sorry, no joke here today.)

They never really give you the full set of rules.

“The Good Place” dilemma. Life is so complicated that no one earns enough points to get into the Good Place.

And worst of all you never learned what that lever on the left side of the steering column does. And then you designed the headlights on pickup trucks and SUV’s. And then you decided that HID headlights were as trendy as leaving your driving lights on 24/7.

Crimes against huMANity!

That is what is in store for those who depend on their own good works to go heaven. It isn’t a case of us doing more good deeds than evil that counts anymore than a bank can be considered blameless because they didn’t lose more than half of the money given to you. Each breath, each heartbeat we have is a gift from God. He has done more good for us than we could ever do for Him. That includes giving us salvation through the death and resurrection of His Son.

That’s my pet peeve. Pull up idiot!

All damning offenses. I had some idiot get mad at me because he and his buddies were crowded at the top of the escalator and talking, blocking it completely.

Also waiting until the last second to merge when a lane ends.

Could be worse. He could be going to that special level of Hell reserved for tailgaters. (and no, I’m not talking about football games).

And the ultimate sin. He drove the speed limit in the left lane.

So, for the rest of eternity – NO SOUP FOR YOU!

Sadly, some people think “being good” is all you need

I agree with all you guys on pulling out! The cop basically said you wait behind the crosswalk and not pullout until you can turn. I told him the oncoming traffic just kept coming, so I should just sit there through 3 light rotations and hope I can turn then? He said " Yes"

Yes there are many intersections with no turn arrow. The only way to turn left is to do what some have suggested. That is to pull forward and go when the oncoming traffic has stopped. Otherwise you wait a long long time, until the traffic has subsided long enough to turn left. Whoever designs these signals should be required to use them during heavy traffic and see how difficult it is.

There are some intersections with cameras that the green light is so short by the time it comes on, and you move your foot from the brake to the pedal it is turning yellow so that it can catch you in the middle of the intersection when it turns red.

Don’t forget about his sleeping in the fast lane.

Read the handbook. That is exactly why you are allowed to clear the intersection, if the signal changes!
